lukas graham mama said Lyrics, singer by LUKAS GRAHAM

---

when mama said that it was okay
mama said that it was quite alright
our kind of people had a bed for the night
and it was ok
mama told us we are good kids
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'cause we were good kids

remember asking both my mom and dad
why we never traveled to exotic lands
we only ever really visit friends
nothing to tell when the summer ends
we never really went buying clothes
folks were passing on this stuff plenty loads
new shoes once a year and then
out to play ball so we could ruin them

when mama said that it was okay
mama said that it was quite alright
our kind of people had a bed for the night
and it was ok
mama told us we were good kids
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'cause we were good kids

don�t get me wrong i didn�t have it bad
i got enough loving from my mom and dad
but i don�t think they really understood
when i said that i wanted the deal in hollywood
i told them i'll be singing on tv
the other kids were calling me a wannabe
the older kids they started bugging me
but now they all standing right in front of me

when mama said that it was okay
mama said that it was quite alright
our kind of people had a bed for the night
and it was ok
mama told us we were good kids
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
�cause we were good kids

i know which place i'm from
i know my home
when i�m in doubt and struggling
that�s where i go
an old friend can give advice
when new friends only know a half story
that�s why i�m always keep them tight
and why i'm okay
�i said i'm ok
you know what my mama said
you know what she told me

my mama said that it was ok
mama said that it was quite alright
our kind of people had a bed for the night
and it was ok
mama said that we were good kids
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
�cause we were good kids

mama said that it was okay
mama said that it was okay
when mama said that it was okay

lukas graham take the world by storm Lyrics, singer by LUKAS GRAHAM

i've always dreamt of travel
why should we die where we were born? (born)
some road are laid with gravel
sometimes you gotta build your own (own)

i wanna tear down boundaries
i wanna greet my enemies
i wanna see what i haven't seen
cause i know there's more

i take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)
i take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)

i don't have any answers
the more know the more i grow (grow)
i don't know where i'm going
but i'mma search cause i see hope (hope)

i wanna tear down boundaries
i wanna greet my enemies
i wanna see what i haven't seen
cause i know there's more

i take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)
i take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)

there's got to be more than this
gotta figure out how to jump the wall
i wanna live and learn
don't matter if i land or if i fall
i know i might return
at least i know i'll be walking tall
i'm not afraid
cause i take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)
i take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)

lukas graham 7 years Lyrics, singer by LUKAS GRAHAM

---

once i was seven years old my momma told me
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
once i was seven years old

it was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
by eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

once i was eleven years old my daddy told me
go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
once i was eleven years old

i always had that dream like my daddy before me
so i started writing songs, i started writing stories
something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
cause only those i really love will ever really know me

once i was 20 years old, my story got told
before the morning sun, when life was lonely
once i was 20 years old

i only see my goals, i don't believe in failure
cause i know the smallest voices, they can make it major
i got my boys with me at least those in favor
and if we don't meet before i leave, i hope i'll see you later

once i was 20 years old, my story got told
i was writing about everything, i saw before me
once i was 20 years old

soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
we've traveled around the world and we're still rolling
soon we'll be 30 years old

i'm still learning about life
my woman brought children for me
so i can sing them all my songs
and i can tell them stories
most of my boys are with me
some are still out seeking glory
and some i had to leave behind
my brother i'm still sorry

soon i'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
remember life and then your life becomes a better one
i made the man so happy when i wrote a letter once
i hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

soon i'll be 60 years old, will i think the world is cold
or will i have a lot of children who can warm me
soon i'll be 60 years old
soon i'll be 60 years old, will i think the world is cold
or will i have a lot of children who can warm me
soon i'll be 60 years old

once i was seven years old, my momma told me
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
once i was seven years old

once i was seven years old

lukas graham before the morning sun

lukas graham before the morning sun Lyrics, singer by LUKAS GRAHAM

sitting awake before the morning sun
only cause i couldn't fall asleep while the night was young
i'm restless can't call myself stressless
these past weeks have left me breathless and senseless
my brother from another mother lost a brother
my father lost his father i lost a friend
something that i couldn't comprehend
we'll never see these men again
once upon a time life was so innocent

we're past the past
the now is now
the future will be here in a minute
but i don't care what's going down
any how

i miss the time with the many smiles
when we could always stretch it for a little while
now you're gone and it feels like i'm alone
oh god damn it how i miss you so
sometimes it will feel time can stop
sometimes i feel like giving up
but then i hear a voice inside of me saying
better die with your chin up than living on your knees
daydreaming is okay sometimes
but to face the facts really hurts
and when you finally feel the weight of your burden
get up again if you kiss the dirt
i'd rather live one day as a lion
than live a hundred years as a sheep
i'd rather reign in hell than serve in heaven
live my dreams out in reality and not in my sleep

the past is gone
the now is now
the future will be here in a minute
but i don't care what's going down
what's going down

people tell me pick yourself up off the road
can't i just stay and get squashed like a little toad
they'll say you have a burden to carry
somewhere along the line there's a girl to marry
but don't worry i'll get up
i won't give it up even if it won't stop
hurting in my heart now that we're apart
my chronic pain is about to start will it be hard
i'd rather live one day as a lion
than live a hundred years as a sheep
i'd rather reign in hell than serve in heaven
live my dreams out in reality and not in my sleep

there's just something about her

oh oh oh i tell ya

feeling we've been parted for so long
that's why i keep you right here on my arm

you never let me, down

lukas graham moving alone Lyrics, singer by LUKAS GRAHAM

i was still in my teens
the biggest man in my life went and shattered my dreams
how could you do it to mom
i swore back then i wouldn't be like you
and it hurt like hell you didn't tell us the truth
how could you do it to mom
i don't even know if you know that you hurt us
from all i understand it seems like you just don't care
now i'm walking alone with my burden
a burden to bear that can never belong to me

i'm just a chip off the block never too far from you
tell me daddy what to do
tell me is it destiny, to start fooling around and keep fooling around
did you know that i knew, knew about her and you
and i felt so confused, i even considered
to tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth

but i'm just like him
now the circle starts over starts over again
i realize, the story's not over at all
i thought the cheating would have ended with him
but i'm cheating, now i'm cheating on my own girlfriend
truth be told i guess she wasn't special at all
she doesn't even know if i know that i hurt her
from all she understands it seems like i just don't care
now i'm walking alone with my burden
a burden i bear now because it belongs to me

i'm just a chip off the block i'm never too far from you
tell me daddy what to do
tell me is it destiny, to start fooling around and keep fooling around
did you know that i knew, knew about her and you
and i felt so confused, i even considered
to tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth

everybody's walking alone
everybody's walking alone
everybody's walking alone
i said
everybody's walking alone
everybody's walking alone
i know that everybody's walking alone

i'm just a chip off the block i'm never too far from you
tell me daddy what to do
tell me is it destiny, to start fooling around and keep fooling around
did you know that i knew, knew about her and you
and i felt so confused, i even considered
to tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth
tell mommy the truth

sunday morning
trying to clear my head
i don't remember what i did
i can't remember shit
but i feel good
you know you've got to leave
but now you want me, you really want me
now you're on your knees
begging please, oh
and acting kind of strange
telling me how much you want me
but this can never change
i used to want you
now it's not the same
what you give is what you get
i said no but you're still begging

baby don't hurt me don't hurt me this way
i thought we agreed that we both felt the same
baby don't hurt me, it's not okay
you said

i know i told you
girl there's no excuse
we both helped to draw the line
you had the chance to choose
why you messing
messing with my head
making me feel guilty
when you know i'm innocent
baby please oh
you were just a fling
i never would have started
if i knew how it would end
all i'm asking
is take this pain away
what you give is what you get
i said no but you're still begging

baby don't hurt me don't hurt me this way
i thought we agreed that we both felt the same
baby don't hurt me, it's not okay
you said

you said it meant nothing to you
that it was alright with you
don't ask me what i can't do
so why you being unfair?!
so why you being so cruel?!
so why you being this mean?!
what have i ever done to you?
but you're still begging

baby don't hurt me don't hurt me this way
i'm sorry i can't take your pain away
so baby don't hurt me it's not ok
you said

so baby don't hurt me don't hurt me this way
i thought we agreed that we both felt the same
so baby don't hurt me, it's not okay
you said

i got the letter back
saying i can come and see you
i really don't have time
but promised that i'd come and see you
you're sitting far away
but do you know i sometimes need you
i know that you deserve
the time you got of all the people
i know you never bent
even in the strongest wind
i really wished to every god
that you were innocent
i'm happy and i'm proud
that i can still call you my friend
i hope you read the letters
and the magazines i send

you got your head up
but i don't have my hopes high
i know that you're a good man
and that's what, brings a tear to my eye
i'm like, oh

i hope you know you're not alone in that hell
and there ain't, no
no one can change it
no one can do it better than yourself

i was sixteen
and we used to roll together
you told me back then
that i was meant for something better
you know in our life
nothing's gonna change but the weather
it seems it's been forever
since we really stuck together
i'm living a crazy life
i wish that you could see it too
see a thousand people sing
my song from me to you
every time i sing it
you know i'm bleeding too
man i accept you as you are
no i don't need the truth

i got my head up
but i ain't got my hopes high
see i know that you're a good man
and it brings a tear to my eye
i'm like, oh...

i reminisce to back then, when it was you and i
smoking big fat blunts, drive in movie night
they tried to get you down, but you refused to die
they tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly

you'd rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail
they're only punishing a soul that you will never sell
we both know that we owe nothing to each other
but can you blame me, for loving and missing my brother

years go by and i miss you
i can't describe what you've been through
but you're gone
we do what we believe in
set a goal and stop dreaming
i'm not saying you're wrong

but every time you're going
and i'm asking myself why
hoping, oh just hoping you won't go
i know you're proud of me
you're holding your head high
it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok

'cause i know i'll get you back
though i know your mind is criminal
it don't matter, no
that you're going in again
i know i'll get you back
no, i know your mind is criminal
i got women for you man
when you're coming out again

you know i could have been with you
been with you, done what you been through
i had a chance to choose
when enough's enough will you know it
when you reach your goal will you hold it
i'm afraid you're gonna lose

and every time you're going
and i'm asking myself why
hoping, oh just hoping you won't go
i know you're proud of me
you're holding your head high
it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok

'cause i know i'll get you back
though i know your mind is criminal
it don't matter no
i bet you're going in again
i know i'll get you back
no, i know your mind is criminal
i got women for you man
when you're coming out again

i know i'll get you back
a criminal, a criminal

lukas graham apologize

lukas graham apologize Lyrics, singer by LUKAS GRAHAM

---

baby got me smiling, forgetting all her flaws
my angel lost her halo, so i put her next to god
i called her my angel gave her all my time
and she was the kind of woman
who could give me peace of mind
but now it's over she betrayed me

(how does the defendant plead?)

i'm not guilty, there's nothing i did wrong
what i did was all her fault
and i won't apologize
i won't apologize, for what she made me do
i won't apologize to you

(sit down young man or i will hold you in contempt of this court!)

i took her for a picnic
asked her is it true
she said yes and i'm sorry
i never meant to hurt you
she began to worry
i said i'm still in love
and you can't keep on living
if you don't think i'm enough
and now it's over she betrayed me

(how does the defendant plead?)

i'm not guilty, there's nothing i did wrong
what i did was all her fault
and i won't apologize
i won't apologize, for what she made me do
i won't apologize to you

(i'm dismissing this case on the grounds of insubstantial evidence!)

policeman got me smiling
he thinks i'll go to jail
but i got proper lawyers
so i told him go to hell
the judge is asking questions
i don't know what to say
only that she slept around
and that she deserved to pay

and i won't apologize
i won't apologize
there's nothing i did wrong
what i did was all her fault
and i won't apologize
i won't apologize, for what she made me do
i won't apologize to you

i wonder, of what is she created

we'll smoke another one drink some more
then an encore and an encore, encore

james bay incomplete Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

i breathe in slow to compose myself
but the bleeding heart i left on the shelf
started speeding round, beating half to death
cause you're here and you're all mine

so i press my lips down into your neck
and i stay there and i reconnect
bravery i've been trying to be perfect
it can wait for a while

scared of hope in my head it's been making me sweat but it turns out
you're here with your head on my chest
i should've guessed

the world will turn and we'll grow, we'll learn how to be
to be incomplete

i breathe out now and we fall back in
just like before we can re begin
let your lungs push slow against my skin
let it all feel just fine

gone is the emptiness
we just take what's best and we move on
all that the hurt gets left
i should've guessed

the world will turn and we'll grow, we'll learn how to be
to be incomplete
this here now, it's where we touch down
you and me let's be incomplete

how'd we go without
i don't know it's look like we've made it again
tell me you'll never look down, down

and the world will turn and we'll grow, we'll learn how to be
to be incom...

i don't wanna look down
i don't want us to break up in the cloud
all i want is to stay us, to stay with you now

i don't wanna look down
i don't want us to break up in the clouds
all i want is to stay us, to stay with you now

and the world will turn and we'll grow, we'll learn how to be
to be incomplete
this here now it's where we touch down
you and me let's be incomplete

james bay need the sun to break Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

i'm halfway gone, sleepless i'm battle worn
you're all i want, so bring me the dawn

i need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
i'm shaking, all my luck could change
been in the dark for weeks and i've realized you're all i need and
i hope that i'm not too late, i hope i'm not too late

back of the room, how come my friends already know you?
i feel like a kid, too shy to speak up so i keep it hid
oh butterflies, you steal my sleep each night

i need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
i'm shaking, all my luck could change
been in the dark for weeks and i've realized you're all i need and
i hope i'm not too late, and i hope i'm not too late
ooh ooh ooh, oh, oh
ooh ooh ooh, oh, oh
ooh ooh ooh, oh, oh

oh no

i need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
i'm shaking, all my luck could change
been in the dark for weeks and i've realized you're all i need
i hope that i'm not too late, and i hope i'm not too late
oh now yes i hope i'm not too late

ooh ooh ooh, oh, oh

james bay get out while you can

james bay get out while you can Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

i've been looking all night watching them empty hours
invisible to these crowds, always double vision
i've been losing my mind listening to broken speech
stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture
and i hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head
always that same thing that you said

get out, get out, while you still can
don't let the nights slip through your hands
the world is wide from where you stand
so get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh

as i'm sweeping up glass, i see the exit lights so green
these people falling into the streets
something comes together
i've been here too long and if i stay, they'll tie me down
i know this trench won't hang around, so i'm gone forever
and i hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head
always that same thing that you said

so get out, get out, while you still can
don't let the nights slip through your hands
the world is wide from where you stand
so get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh

packing up my suitcase, racing down for gun street
making my tracks along the cracks in the coke
seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet
if you find me, you will find me on the run
for all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the stubborn cards
i've seen the green of glass, i've seen the faster cars
and i don't need your heavy hours
i don't need your lonely bars
i'm ejected like a bullet from a gun
so take your final look at me, may even take my hand
standing on the staircase, come and chase the master plan
long way to get away, play it like a grand slam
this is no encore, we have only just begun

so get out, get out, while you still can
don't let the nights slip through your hands
the world is wide from where you stand
so get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh

ooh ooh ooh ooh...

james bay collide

james bay collide Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

i know i'll do it again
i know we're gonna collide
i know we'll call it the end
but it's always always a lie
you wear your heart on your sleeve
i wear my blood on my tie
but it's only love underneath, this disguise

oh you left, a hole in me
i don't cut, easily
i'm only just holding up, on my knees
i think it's time to open up, i don't mean bleed
so turn it on, we can go wild
if it's what you want, fire at me

i can't bear to let you go
so keep on throwing your sticks and stones
i'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
i can't bear to let, bear to let you go

why don't we do it again?
go wrecking something of mine
like you deserve the revenge
like i've got something to hide
i keep on playing with you, yeah
you keep on calling me names
sure i can take the abuse
it's just a game

oh you left, a hole in me
i don't cut, easily
i'm only just holding up, on my knees
i think it's time to open up, i don't mean bleed
so turn it on, we can go wild
if it's what you want, fire at me

i can't bear to let you go
so keep on throwing your sticks and stones
i'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
i can't bear to let, bear to let you go

all i know is i love it when... ow she blows
we keep turning red
hot, stone cold, she burn inside
deals get broke we fold in and fold out, we're too close
it's dead love until curtains close
and we come alive

i can't bear to let you go
so keep on throwing your sticks and stones
i'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
i can't woah no oh

i can't bear to let you go
so keep on throwing your sticks and stones
i'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
i can't bear to let, bear to let you go

james bay scars

james bay scars Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

you're setting off,
it's time to go, the engine's running
my mind is lost,
we always knew this day was coming
and now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be

we grow apart,
i watch you on the red horizon
your lion's heart
will protect you under stormy skies
and i will always be listening for your laughter and your tears

and as soon as i can hold you once again
i won't let go of you, i swear

we live through scars this time
but i've made up my mind
we can't leave us behind anymore

your hands are cold,
your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
this fragile heart,
so heavy in my chest, it's breaking
and in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me

but you're miles away,
you're breaking up, you're on your own
it's hard to take,
i need an hour just to say hello
and i can't make the truth of this work out for you or me

and for all the pennies in your pocket
we barely get a second just to speak

we live through scars this time
but i've made up my mind
we can't leave us behind anymore
we'll have to hurt for now
but next time there's no doubt
'cause i can't go without you anymore

oh, no, no
oh, oh.

we live through scars this time
but i've made up my mind
no, we can't leave us behind anymore

we'll have to hurt for now
but next time, there's no doubt
'cause i can't go without you anymore
no, i can't go without you anymore

james bay move together

james bay move together Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

home now, end of the night
it's colder to turn on your side
and i know you're up in two hours
but we didn't get tonight, we don't have tomorrow
so don't ruin now.

how we gonna move together? just come closer
if we don't move together, just come closer
how we gonna breathe? how we gonna be together?
just keeping the peace between the sheets

and i creep in, and everything's loud
i'm sorry, i've woken you now
and we'll argue the tiniest thing
but we didn't get tonight, we don't have tomorrow
so i'm done whispering, done whispering.

how we gonna move together? just come closer
if we don't move together, just come closer
how we gonna breathe? how we gonna be together?
just keeping the peace between the sheets.

so maybe don't give me cold, cold shoulder
before you go, turn around, let me hold you
and let me say in the dark of the morning
just more one thing.

how we gonna move together? just come closer
if we don't move together, come closer
how we gonna breathe? how we gonna be together?
just keeping the peace, just keeping the peace
just keeping the peace between these sheets.

james bay when we were on fire

james bay when we were on fire Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

drifting apart, getting harder to hold you
days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
are we burning out?
swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean
let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
if our hearts are alive, maybe then they might
send us back to the sun

now i know, i know
that we're losing light, our love is dying
out cold on the floor
like a fallen star that shines no more
take, take me back to where it was before
when we were on fire, fire

head down, heading underground feeling wasted
cold to the bone, so alone i can taste it
let's light it up
streets are alive now, and everything's bracing
you're on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame
let's start it again

and i know, i know
that we're losing light, our love is dying
out cold on the floor
like a fallen star that shines no more
take, take me back to where it was before
when we were on fire, fire
we were on fire, fire

oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa oh oh, now don't tell me no
that we're burning down
oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa oh oh, now don't tell me no
that we're burning now

i know, i know we're losing light and our love is dying
take me, take me home
back to where we was before when we were on fire, fire
and i know, i know that we're losing light, our love is dying
out cold on the floor like a fallen star that shines no more
take, take me back to where it was before when we were on fire, fire
when we were on fire, fire.

james bay best fake smile

james bay best fake smile Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

no you don't have to wear your best fake smile
don't have to stand there and burn inside
oh oh oh if you don't like it

she's working late and making eyes at the door
she's sick of everybody up on her floor
she wants the sun in her eyes but all she gets is ignored

she used to put it out and get it all back
but now she's slipping trying to carry the act
she's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to crack

woah

no you don't have to wear your best fake smile
don't have to stand there and burn inside
oh oh oh if you don't like it

and you don't have to care so don't pretend
nobody needs a best fake friend
oh oh oh don't hide it

no hesitation now she gets up and walks
she thinks of all the pain and pride that it cost
she empties all the tip jars and won't get back what she lost

outside the window with two fingers to show
she lifts her head up just to blow out the smoke
she doesn't have to look back to know where she's gotta go

no you don't have to wear your best fake smile
don't have to stand there and burn inside
oh oh oh if you don't like it

and you don't have to care so don't pretend
nobody needs a best fake friend
oh oh oh don't hide it

if you don't bleed it you don't need it anymore
if you don't need it get up and leave it on the floor
no more believing like it's a voice you can't ignore
if you don't need it you don't need it no

and you don't have to wear your best fake smile
don't have to stand there and burn inside
oh oh oh no if you don't like it

and you don't have to care so don't pretend
nobody needs a best fake friend
oh oh oh don't hide it

no you don't have to wear your best fake smile
don't have to stand there and burn inside
oh oh oh if you don't like it

oh oh oh no if you don't like it

james bay if you ever want to be in love

james bay if you ever want to be in love Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

saw you today after so much time
felt just like it used to be
talking for hours bout a different life
surrounding us in memories
we were close, never close enough
where are we now
'cause if it's torn we can stitch it up
don't rule it out
oh no no

i'll come around
if you ever want to be in love
i'm not waiting, but i'm willing if you call me up
if you ever want to be in love
i'll come around

wanted to ask if we could have been
but my tongue wouldn't break the seal
you always had something effortless
at school you were the biggest deal
little quirks close and open up
time is slipping by
always thinking 'bout the two of us
replay on my mind
always playing on my mind

i'll come around
if you ever want to be in love
i'm not waiting, but i'm willing if you call me up
if you ever want to be in love
i'll come around

we were young, we were side by side
don't know when we started losing touch
if you want we could walk around
maybe that would be enough
used to talk drinking to the night
i would wake up on the front room floor
all along you'd be in my bed
make me crazy make me want you more

i'll come around
if you ever want to be in love
i'm not waiting, but i'm willing if you call me up
i'll come around
if you ever want to be in love
i'm not waiting, but i'm willing if you call me up
if you ever want to be in love
i'll come around

james bay let it go

james bay let it go Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

from walking home and talking loads
to seeing shows in evening clothes with you
from nervous touch and getting drunk
to staying up and waking up with you

but now we're slipping at the edge
holding something we don't need
all this delusion in our heads
is gonna bring us to our knees

so come on let it go
just let it be
why don't you be you
and i'll be me

everything that's broke
leave it to the breeze
why don't you be you
and i'll be me

and i'll be me

from throwing clothes across the floor
to teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
if this is all we're living for
why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore

i used to recognize myself
it's funny how reflections change
when we're becoming something else
i think it's time to walk away

so come on let it go
just let it be
why don't you be you
and i'll be me

everything that's broke
leave it to the breeze
why don't you be you
and i'll be me

and i'll be me

trying to fit your hand inside of mine
when we know it just don't belong
there's no force on earth
could make it feel right, no

whoa

trying to push this problem up the hill
when it's just too heavy to hold
think now's the time to let it slide

so come on let it go
just let it be
why don't you be you
and i'll be me

everything that's broke
leave it to the breeze
let the ashes fall
forget about me

come on let it go
just let it be
why don't you be you
and i'll be me

and i'll be me

james bay hold back the river

james bay hold back the river Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

tried to keep you close to me,
but life got in between
tried to square not being there
but think that i should've been

hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
hold back the river, so i
can stop for a minute and see where you hide
hold back the river, hold back

once upon a different life
we rode our bikes into the sky
but now we're caught against the tide
those distant days all flashing by

hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
hold back the river, so i
can stop for a minute and be by your side
hold back the river, hold back

hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
hold back the river, so i
can stop for a minute and see where you hide
hold back the river, hold back

oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
oho, oho, oho, oho

lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
let us hold each other
lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
let us hold each other

hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
hold back the river, so i
can stop for a minute and be by your side
hold back the river, hold back

hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
hold back the river, so i
can stop for a minute and be by your side
hold back the river, hold

lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
let us hold each other
lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
let us hold each other

james bay craving Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

walking through the traffic on a monday
in the town i grew up
shelter from the rain in every doorway
it's dark and everyone's numb
kids are making faces in the bus lane
but nobody looks up
everyone's life the same as yesterday
just like the ticking of clocks

and i'm craving, craving, craving something i can feel
where do i go, what do i need, is it ecstasy or is it fear?
am i on my own, am i even close
'coz i'm craving, still craving something i can feel

never thought the night could get so lonely
'til she called me up
never thought these streets could've out grown me
i guess it wasn't enough
so i put my faith in everyone around me
then she sold all my stuff
sheer and wild abandon that's all i need
and someone i can trust

'coz i'm craving, craving, craving something i can feel
where do i go, what do i need, is it ecstasy or is it fear?
am i on my own, am i even close
'coz i'm craving, still craving something i can feel

take me far from streets and roads
lead me out in the night
don't show me the way back home
'coz i

yes i'm craving, craving, craving something i can feel
where do i go, what do i need, is it ecstasy or is it fear?
am i on my own, am i even close
'coz i'm craving, still craving something i can feel

craving
craving something i can feel...

james bay wait in line

james bay wait in line Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

i can't shake this feeling
at the end o' each day
that i keep on working hard
but all i do is get paid
though i keep believing
there's a light up ahead
'cause it's only getting darker
and i could stay in my bed

it's a fight
it takes so long
but i've learned to hold my own

so i stand
and i wait in line
with a heavy head
and this bottle of wine
and i watch
as they steal my time
i stand and i wait in line
i stand and i wait in line

i walk home in the shadows
i carry my cage
and i hope they notice
what i brought to the stage

'cause it's a fight
and it takes so long
but i've learned to hold my own

so i stand
and i wait in line
with a heavy head
and this bottle of wine
and i watch
as they steal my time
i stand and i wait in line
i stand and i wait in line

ooh whenever it gets inside
it gets so hard to hide
whenever it gets inside
ooh i know you'll turn out right
giving it all my life
i know you'll turn out right

and i stand
and i wait in line
with a heavy head
and this bottle of wine
and i vow
as they steal my time
i know one day i'll get mine
and i stand here and wait in line

i stand and i wait in line
i stand and i wait in line

james bay sparks

james bay sparks Lyrics, singer by JAMES BAY

---

if i told you about my favourite dream
the one without you
would you spit fire at me?
or would you burn to know
every single by blow
i don't know her
maybe she isn't real
she didn't hold back
when you were lying next to me

this can't be all we are
silent and in the dark

we could be making sparks
but we don't ignite, don't ignite
we could be making sparks
but we need to fight, need to fight

come a little closer
remember when we used to sway
trembling in the covers
taking it with an only grey

this can't be all we are
silent and in the dark

we could be making sparks
but we don't ignite, don't ignite
we could be making sparks
but we need to fight, need to fight

no i never saw the walls
falling on us like this
now i'm hanging from a rope
holding my hope, my hope
i don't need it, i just want it more than anything else
i can do this alone

no, no
we could be making sparks
but we don't ignite, don't ignite

we could be making sparks
but we don't ignite, don't ignite
we could be making sparks
but we need to fight, need to fight
